How To Mod Dark Souls 3 from Steam in Five Minutes or Less

Ойындар

This videos covers the basics of modding Dark Souls 3. To start we need to locate the games location, this can be done using the browse to files when right clicking the game in the steam library.
Once you have the game folder we need to get the DS3 Mod Engine which will allow for us to bring mods into the game. There are two folders in the DS3 Mod Engine you need to copy them to the games folder.
Once completed make a new folder called mod. With this all the setup is done and we need to just get the mod we want. Once downloaded extract the mod to the mod folder you created.
You have successfully completed modding the game at this point and are good to launch it.
Note you can create multiple mod folders you will just need to edit DS3 Mod Engine location, you can also combine mods provided they don't overwrite each other and modify different things.

    sorry to unpin the dislike, but i decided its better to give update info instead of letting you tell me that im long winded and boring. There's a new version of mod engine you can get from git and its far easier to use. you can check it out in my four more ways to mod elden ring video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lKN2sMqTqdPVlag.html&ab_channel=CouchCmd

    mod engine is probably the best and easiest way of modding dark souls. all credit goes out Katalash for making it. before this your option was to fully extract the game and use assets replacement modding. mod engine instead basically uses asset overide which means that whenever a file in the mod engine folder shares the same name as a base file in the game the mod engine option gets used instead.

    it depends on the mods. cosmetic mods if you use uxm and replace the file most times you'll be ok, however for mods that change how the game works you would need to remove the mods to be able to run it. What some people do is create a modded copy of the game and an unmodded. doing this would let you not have to remove your mods, however you would need different saves since your save in one game would be tied to mod assets and would probably crash if the assets could not be found.

    so by default the mod engine redirects your save to a new location so you dont corrupt your current ones with mods. you can copy your save over to that folder to use it, or inside the mod engines ini you can change the use different save location to false.

I see on my account it says I'm playing Dark Souls 3, it loads for about 5 seconds and then stops and shuts the game down completely. Whenever I load up the .exe file, I get this error: DarkSoulsIII.exe - Application Error This application was unable to start correctly (0xc00000142). Click OK to close the application. How do I fix this?

    so when using mod engine it uses a different save location. you can copy your existing save over to that folder, or turn off the different save location in the engines ini. i would advice copying since using a mod and removing it will corrupt a save.

    go offline. most games with mod engine will block your network connection, but make sure you set it to offline and you should be ok. if you want to go online you will need to make sure to remove the mod content or just uninstall and reinstall, but be aware your mod saves will probably not function without the mods.

    the general measures most people recommend is 1. do not play a modded save (this should be easy since it defaults your saves to a different location) 2. make sure mod engine and the mods its uses are set not run or removed. 3. if you used uxm to alter anything besides models you will need to restore those files or uninstall and reinstall the game. this is not a guarantee since i do not know how dark souls anti cheat works or their policies on bans. i personally would just uninstall and reinstall the game and confirm that none of my modded saves are displaying.

    so a zip file is a compressed file. its used to save space. Most mods you download will be compressed since it saves time uploading and downloading the file. Most programs cant read zip files though so for you to actually use the mod you have to extract it. You can right click and extract or double click and go into the file then move it else where.
